(1 of 2) Have you met Alan?

If you’ve been around Ontology circles before, Alan Sieler probably doesn’t really need an introduction.

But if Ontology and Alan Sieler are new to you, and you’re a Leader or Coach, we definitely recommend reading on 👀

Alan is the founder and director of the Ontological Coaching Institute (OCI) and a recognised world leader in advanced Ontological coaching techniques that focus on how we interact in three key areas: emotions, language and body.

Why these three areas? Because these create our Way of Being in every conversation 💬 at work or at home.

Understanding these empowers us as Leaders or Coaches to be at our best, and to bring out the best in others.

Alan’s executive coaching experience spans more than twenty years throughout a diverse range of industries across Australia and the world 🌏. He’s written extensively on the relevance of Ontology including four books (which NASA, Hewlett Packard and Intel have used in their organisational development strategy).

In conjunction with LIFT, Alan’s coming to East Fremantle WA in August to present Somatic Techniques for Coaches and Leaders.

This kind of opportunity doesn’t come up very often in WA so consider registering NOW!

🎯 Create faster, more sustainable change in self and others

Words and actions = NOT a match 🚫   
 
We learn about language and emotions, at home, in school and possibly throughout work and life. 
 
But how often do we learn about the body? 
 
How often do we just know that the words coming from the person in front of us aren’t matching what their body is saying? 

The ability to discern the body, in ourselves and in others, can significantly expand our leadership and coaching capabilities towards immediate and longer lasting change. 
 
In Somatic Techniques for Coaches and Leaders, Alan Sieler, founder and Director of the Ontological Coaching Institute and a world leader in ontological coaching, explores the somatic framework including body position, body practice, and “coaching to the body”. 
 
- Participants will take away somatic techniques to lift their coaching or leadership skills and achieve these key outcomes: 
 
- Understanding the pivotal importance of our body in effective connection when coaching and leading. 
 
- Increasing body awareness and “being in the body” (rather than in our head) during
challenging situations.  
 
- How to “live from the body” to develop more constructive moods and emotions and lift our wellbeing.

Do I really want to unlock my courage? 

If you’re thinking: “What happens if I unlock my courage?” 

“How exactly would I do that??” 

And: “WHY???” 

You’re not alone. 

In February this year, sixteen courageous female leaders walked through our doors wondering variations on those themes. 

They knew (or certainly suspected!) they were exhausted and wanting to somehow do less (without achieving less). They needed to change things for themselves because life had come to feel unsustainable.

They thought they would get some management strategies and some time management hacks. 

What the program delivered was a synthesis of my (Cherelle’s) extensive training in Dr Brenē Brown’s Daring Way™ and ongoing work on courage, vulnerability and trust; the latest research from contemporary leaders in Australia, the UK and USA; and decades of industry experience proven to build relational and wellbeing intelligence. 

In short, it’s about self-leadership, unlocking a healthier way to live and lead you. To:  
    •    Identify what lifts or limits your self-trust and self-compassion  
    •    Identify your “arena” and lift your confidence to step inside 
    •    Lift your ability to access your intuition in decision-making 
    •    Lift your connection and balance between your head and heart 
    •    Know your boundaries to maintain your integrity 
    •    Know your worthiness to show up and be seen 
    •    Set your own path now – and for 2026! 

As one participant puts it: “To lead others, you must be able to lead yourself. This will help you do both.”  

We start 7 August. Join us and unlock YOUR courage code!

Your battery is at 37% 🪫

Did you start 2025 with an intention to do it differently? Better?

Maybe you took a break over the summer — perhaps more recently even — to recharge and prepare for the year ahead.

But are you now realising that you’ve slipped back into unhealthy patterns and pressures anyway?

It won’t be a surprise to anyone that many of our wonderful female leaders have shared that their batteries are also feeling the draining effects of EOFY, general work stresses and just… life.

With low battery levels, we say now is NOT the time to:

❌ Set Big Hairy Audacious Goals (too hard, too resource intensive and too far beyond the primary issue – how to look after you!)
❌ Do more at work (bet you’re already doing that and… um, how’s that working out for you?)
❌ Add more faux self-care to your week (you’ve neither the time nor the money and there’s already enough on your plate).

So, let’s just focus on ONE thing: figuring out your next SINGLE strong step.

And in doing so, get MORE:

✅ MORE being, less doing.
✅ MORE real self-care that changes ‘survive’ to ‘thrive’.
✅ MORE space for you!

At Unlocking the Courage Code, LIFT’s Founder and CEO, Cherelle Witney, takes female leaders through our 4 day program (interwoven over 3 months) to Reflect, Rest, Refuel and Reset.

And in doing so, take up their invitation to start doing things differently and sustainably.

We start 7 August. Join us!

(🐥 Early Bird registration still available to save $340 — even MORE if you register with a friend 👯‍♀️).

Stay courageously connected,
Cherelle
